## Description

This MCP server provides a deterministic engine for executing merger arbitrage (risk arbitrage) strategies. It allows AI agents to evaluate the profitability and risk of acquisition deals by calculating arbitrage spreads, annualized returns, and downside risks. Users can utilize `analyze_deal_opportunity` to determine if a deal meets specific investment criteria, `calculate_hedge_ratio` to find the correct short position for stock-for-stock swaps, and `evaluate_downside_risk` to estimate potential losses if a merger fails.

## Tools

### analyze_deal_opportunity
Determines if a specific merger deal meets the necessary investment criteria and calculates core arbitrage metrics

### evaluate_downside_risk
Estimates the potential loss if the merger fails

### calculate_hedge_ratio
Calculates the specific ratio required to neutralize market exposure in stock-for-stock transactions

**Prompt:** 
```
Analyze this merger: Target price is $50, deal value is $55, it is a cash deal, expected to close in 30 days, deal size is $2B, and there is no regulatory risk.
```

```
The signal is BUY_TARGET with a 10% spread and an annualized return of 121.67%.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Calculate the hedge ratio for a stock swap where the swap ratio is 0.5.
```

**Response:** 
```
The hedge ratio is 0.5.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
What is the downside risk if the target price is $50 and the pre-deal price was $40?
```

**Response:** 
```
The expected loss is 20% with an estimated floor price of $40.
```

## Frequently Asked Questions

**What is merger arbitrage?**
Merger arbitrage is a strategy that exploits the price difference between a target company's current price and the price offered by an acquirer in a merger deal.

**How does the engine handle stock-for-stock deals?**
For stock swaps, the engine uses `calculate_hedge_ratio` to determine the exact number of acquirer shares to short to neutralize market exposure.

**What happens if a deal fails?**
If a deal breaks, the target stock typically drops to its pre-deal level. You can use `evaluate_downside_risk` to estimate this potential loss.
